Anyone have a copy of this mold that they could bear to part with? In absence of a mold - Would anyone who has one be willing to send me a few well cast copies for measurement - More than happy to pay for this service.

One on Ebay right now. It ain't cheap.

Cant find one on ebay this morning. Pretty sure one sold on Sunday. If I can get a few well cast examples for measurement- I'm gonna try and get a group buy set up. You and I have been trying to get our hands on one of these for years. Might as well take the bull by the horns.

I have been looking for one of these as well for a .25 Rem rifle old enough to actually be marked .25-35 Rem, but not for the usual ebay price. I would be in for the group buy if someone gets it set up. I think it would be fun to have Ideal's design for this cartridge.

Yes - I think a whole bunch of folks have been looking for this mold for quite some time. Hoping NOE will do it with not too much on the design discussion. Would like to see it in both round nose and flat nose for those of us wanting to use it in 25-35 levers. Al we need is some good examples to measure up.
